" ... Albertson’s mission in Lot 448 is to prevent the sale of one of Banditaccia’s pillaged pieces. It is a fifth century BC antefix, a decorative block that would have been used to conceal and protect converging tiles at the eaves of a roof. In the documentary, the artifact is due to be sold at a Christie’s auction, but Albertson notes it has a suspicious provenance. It is listed as being from the estate of Ingrid McAlpine, whose family has been repeatedly linked to antiquities trafficker Giacomo Medici.

Not only did the internal struggle between the working sector and the conservative hegemonic sectors lead to deep political divisions and political swings, but the involvement of the United States in the whole of Latin America resulted in brutal dictatorships that raped and pillaged the continent.
